"You, why are you looking at me like that?" Daniel Green shifted uncomfortably.
Bella Green withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at him, but this feeling of being ignored made Daniel even more uncomfortable.
"It’s nothing, I thought you knew about this. You sent that glass vase, right? Anna Green smashed it the next day, didn’t you know?"
Daniel was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. He did know about the vase; he had bought it from the mall the day before yesterday because Anna Green said the vases at home were ugly. After buying it, he indeed hadn’t seen her use it. When he asked about it, she said she accidentally broke it.
He turned his head to look at his most revered sister, filled with confusion and bewilderment, yet there was no doubt...
"It’s not true..." Anna Green opened her mouth to deny it.
But Bella Green retorted with a self-deprecating laugh, "Forget it, no one pushed me, and she didn’t throw the vase. It was my bad luck to fall right onto those glass shards. That’s it; you all can leave now."
The disappointment in her tone made everyone present extremely uncomfortable. The forlorn curve at the corner of the young girl’s mouth caused Samuel Gren’s heart to ache with grief.
The next second, he turned his head and looked at Anna Green with a stern face, shouting harshly, "Anna, you’re a grown-up, how can you be so careless? Apologize to Bella right now. Do you know if she wasn’t lucky, she’d be dead?"
The man’s harsh rebuke made Anna Green’s face change drastically, staring at Samuel Gren in astonishment. She never thought that her father, who had always doted on her, would scold her for Bella.
"Dad, it’s not like that..." she wanted to explain. It shouldn’t be . Clearly, it was Bella Green everyone should blame for disgracing the Green Family.
"Dad, it’s fine, sister didn’t do it on purpose, I don’t blame her," Bella Green said with a smile.
Anna Green looked at the pale-faced girl on the hospital bed with eyes full of malice, her nails almost digging into her flesh.
This bitch, with just a few words, has declared her guilty, yet still pretends to be magnanimous. With Samuel Gren still mad, any further explanation would only make their father think she’s petty and pedantic.
She squinted, looking at the excessively frail girl, not understanding whether all this was a coincidence or something else today.
If Bella Green really had the wits, how did she let herself be manipulated so easily before?
"Let’s go home, I have to see who would be so bold as to dare harm someone in the Green Family," Samuel Gren said indignantly, then spoke a few gentle words to Bella Green before leaving.
Bella was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he truly believed she was pushed.
Daniel Green’s expression was peculiar, looking at Bella Green, wanting to say something, but in the end, said nothing and left together with Francesca Willis and Anna Green.
The hospital room suddenly became empty, and the smile on Bella Green’s lips faded as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
After a long time, she lifted the blanket and slowly got out of bed. With so many wounds on her body, even moving a little was excruciatingly painful.
Bella Green slowly walked into the bathroom, staring at the face in the mirror, feeling somewhat lost.
The pale cheeks had hardly any flesh, pathetically thin, the hospital gown hanging loosely on her body, looking as though she had escaped from a refugee camp.
The short hair just reaching her ears made her look like a tomboy.
This haircut was because she hit her head when she fell. Anna Green, under the guise of doing her good, directly had someone cut it.
She touched her head; she had grown that long hair for Vivian Thornecroft for five years. In her past life, upon knowing her hair had been cut, she had gone and argued fiercely with Anna Green.
Everyone ended up blaming her for being ungrateful, saying Anna Green cut her hair for her own good.
Bella Green chuckled lightly. The hair grown for Vivian Thornecroft, cutting it was just fine...
